1981 vintage that tasted young. But the oak is a bit overpowering after all those years.

1982 Cabernet, pure and piecing as well-iterated Pauillac. Peppery, fresh, muscular, and lovely (in a manly sorta way)

83' Believe it or not they made Cabernet 30 years ago. These wines are gems. I've had this wine in my cellar for close to 10 years. The Bacigalupi "TWINS" birth year...had to pop it. The bottle was in mint condition & was drinking flawlessly.

Leather and olive savory notes meet the desiccated fruit at the middle for a magical experience. Thanks TJ!
